I've recently finished a project that I want to be able to deploy to a handful
of devices, and have built the hex file in release mode in Crossworks with Level
1 optimisations. I can run it properly from within Crossworks over JTAG (the
USB device enumerates, and FreeRTOS starts executing tasks as expected), but
when I try to deploy the HEX files via Flash Magic and then reset the device
(after verifying the uploaded hex file), nothing seems to happen. When I deploy
it via JTAG in Crossworks and then reset the device, it also doesn't seem to
execute (I have to run via F5).
Do I need to set some specific compiler option so that the code starts executing
when building for release mode? I definately was expecting it to run (or remain
in flash), and I'm not really sure what I'm doing wrong???

You need STARTUP_FROM_RESET. See the CrossWorks FAQs.

Have you defined STARTUP_FROM_RESET? See the CrossWorks FAQ.

Richard:
Thanks for that ... I added it to preprocessor definitions for 'release' mode and it works fine now. Here's the link if anyone else comes across this:
